CUA - User License Information

Question: Does anyone know if it is possible to distribute user license data to other systems using CUA?

Answer:
I certainly hope this can be done.

I intend to do this work this weekend and my current line of thinging is that I would set up my CUA clienmt first and then any production clients and do a test.

If it works I will let you know my email address is jwallace@uk.loreal.com

good luck and let me know if you are successful before this weekend

Answer:
In case anyone else is looking for the answer to this.

There was no note on this, but SAP listed it on the FAQ page for CUA on SAPNet. They are planning in WAS 6.30 to use CUA to distribute user licensing but is currently not available for lower versions of WAS.

"There is a development planned for the WebAS release higher than 6.30 to use the CUA to distribute the user classification required by the system measurement tools, including the License Administration Workbench (LAW). To use this functionality, you will need a minimum of WebAS release higher than 6.30 for the central system and WebAS 6.20 plus the relevant support package for the client systems. In general, you can run the LAW and CUA in the same central system, but the two do not communicate directly. No license measurement is carried out by the CUA itself, because the LAW requires more information than the CUA can provide, for example, with regard to engines (an engine is a chargeable software component that is not exclusively calculated for each user)."

Answer:
Apparently SAP just issued a note on this so it may now be possible in some versions. Take a look at note #704412.
